1800's and onwards farm implements?
Found these on the property I rent from. (landlord lets me detect whenever, it's awesome.) Original building is from 1788 and these pieces were dug from 6-8 inches. Interestingly I had the detector discriminating iron, and they rung up as two or three different tonal hits.
First question would be if anyone can identify them as they stand. Second question is if there is a solution (maybe a light acid bath?) that I could soak them in to remove any of the caked on rust or metallic "growths". I highly doubt they're worth anything, and I'd rather see what they look like before I decide whether they go on a shelf or in the recycling.
Note: this inquiry doesn't apply to the metal band. Think that one is fairly self explanatory.
